Actually he and Brian Wilson were my two biggest influences: James because he was so good and melodic, Brian because he went to very unusual places. Brian would use, if you were playing in C, he'd stay on the G a lot just to hold it all back, and I realized the power you had within the band.

McCartney doesn't specify which supposed Brian Wilson basslines he refers to.
If he's talking about the ones from the Beach Boys' Pet Sounds, the bassist was actually Carol Kaye.
